Salami + mortadella sandwich

Spent ANZAC Day in Summer Hill with a group of friends, and while Envy Deli Cafe wasn’t our original plan, the food and vibe looked too good to pass up—so we pivoted.

They had a range of sandwiches on display, and the salami + mortadella caught my eye. As for the flavour—it all came together beautifully. The salty mortadella and tangy salami paired perfectly with the creamy ricotta, which made all the difference. It brought a richness that tied everything together. The pickled fennel and cabbage added brightness and zing, while the cabbage also gave a great little crunch. A swipe of mustard added extra depth and rounded things out.

The Turkish bread was also worth calling out—definitely not your standard café Turkish. It was more like a soft focaccia, with a bit of chew and a lovely texture that gave the sandwich that extra something. Everything just felt considered and well balanced.

Oh—and I tasted my friend’s carrot cake too. Pretty solid. Super moised. A great ANZAC Day brunch—and a tasty first visit to Summer Hill.
